First Activity: iSTART Drug Rehabilitation Unit Briefing and Dialogue iSTART shared its experience in drug rehabilitation services, emphasizing the importance of a recovery-oriented support model and interdisciplinary collaboration. Their services primarily target drug-addicted youth, and they stressed non-stigmatizing support, building lasting relationships, and the concept of "finding motivation in life." This activity helped us understand that medical treatment alone cannot cure addiction; psychological support and social integration are key. Second Activity: NPO "The Goose on the Road" Experience Sharing "The Goose on the Road" shared how they address marginalized groups and institutional blind spots through advocacy and social communication. They emphasized the power of "narrative transformation," using real stories to bring ignored voices to the public's attention. This experience made us realize the potential of non-profit organizations in social communication and policy advocacy, and also provided inspiration for our subsequent discussions on NGO public participation strategies. Third Activity: Group Discussion and NGO Planning Practice Building on the previous two activities, the teacher asked students to discuss the following three questions in groups: 1. Please plan and design a non-profit organization focusing on solving addiction problems, explaining its founding purpose, goals, philosophy, the problems it aims to solve, and the target audience. 2. What work does this NGO want to accomplish? How will it accomplish this? 3. How does this NGO plan to obtain support from the public and government, and secure funding resources? One student designed an addiction intervention NPO with the aim of assisting addicts in recovery and rebuilding social connections. The target audience includes those with drug addiction, alcoholism, and behavioral addiction. Implementation strategies include addiction support groups, sheltered employment, halfway houses, and advocacy work. Students also discussed fundraising sources, government cooperation, and social communication strategies, referencing the "flying geese" action model in their design.
